One of the key success factors in poultry farming is strick biosecurity. Some farms, out of ignorance or carefree attitude, pay little attention to biosecurity, especially in developing countries.
Every serious poultry farmer must pay and give special attention to biosecurity if he must succeed and remain in business, especially in this dispensation.
Biosecurity may look expensive especially when the cost of some of the needfuls are considered, but it pays off in the long run, especially in view of the huge capital investment that the sector requires.
I would advise every serious practicing poultry farmer that value his investment not to compromise on this and also not underestimate it.
Nice topic and practical logical steps, already emphasized.
Dr. David G.OTAIGBE
Biosecurity goes beyond cost but includes caution on the part of the poultry farmers. Our eggs sales point should be separated from our operation completely and where possible, we should find a way to get our spent layers to the buyers without them getting close to our pens. This also helps in reducing farm to farm transfer of diseases.
Just an additional information.
